Update on ELC watch 2025
Marjala - no-brainer ELC, but does he see a path to NHL with Sabres?
Miedema - should be a yes ELC, but this is the franchise that didn't sign Hagel...
Leinonen - no-brainer ELC
Strbak - should be yes ELC, physically ready for AHL, sign him if only to crowd out Prow
Ratzlaff is signed
Poltapov - maybe 2027
von Barnekow - he re-upped with Malmo, no ELC, farewell sweet prince ...
Costantini - no ELC, maybe AHL
Huglen - no ELC, maybe AHL
Wild card is Sardarian. 6-1, 179, 6+3 in 10 games, he turns 22 in February. If he's better served to be coached in Rochester, I'd sign him in the summer.
Glotov was mentioned in another thread, I think he's aged out of ELC, but if he's PPG in KHL, 1 year $1.15 million why not, doesn't effect the cap, bury him in Rochester, give him a couple games in the NHL as a one time call-up.
